Maui Girl, if you were hiding the Denamarin in food, it probably wasn't doing what it needed to do anyway. It has to be given on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after meals. My little guy would never eat the chewables, so I got the little blue pill. I used to set it on my nightstand before I went to bed, and then when I woke up to use the john, I would pop it in his mouth. We were both half asleep at that point and he never fought it.
My little guy was diagnosed with liver disease when he was two. He had a chronic fungal infection in his lungs and was on oral Fluconazole off and on his whole life, and that medication is horrible on the liver. We finally let him go in October, at the age of 16. It was not related to his liver disease. With proper management, we were able to maintain his liver numbers fairly well. But that nasty fungus was in his bones as well and for so long that they were weak and ripe for arthritis to set in. When he got so uncomfortable getting around, I would not let him suffer. I sure miss that little guy!
